"In the beginning of his book called Shaburkan, which he composed for Shilpur h. Ardashlr, he says: 'Wisdom and deeds have always from time to time been brought to mankind by the messengers of God. So in one age they have been brought by the messenger, called Buddha, to India, in another by Zaridusht to Persia, in another by Jesus to the West. Thereupon this revelation has come down, this prophecy in this last age through me, MilnI, the messenger of the God of truth to Babylonia.' In his gospel, which he arranged according to the twenty-two letters of the alphabet, he says that he is the Paraclete announced by [the) Messiah, and that he is the seal of the prophets (i.e. the last of them). - Al-Biruni - 11th century

"This testimony features a valuable quotation excerpted from one of the canonical scriptures reportedly authored by Mani, the Shabuhragan. This work was supposedly the only one of Mani's compositions to be written in Persian (as opposed to Aramaic), presumably to facilitate its perusal by Shapur I so as to secure his favor for the expansion of the young religion. The distinctive concept of the periodic revelation ("from time to time") of divine wisdom to humanity via the agency of chosen "prophets" ("mes-sengers of God") is clearly evident in this citation. We also learn the identity of four of these "prophets": Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus, and Mani, each of whom exercise their missions in designated geographic localities.  - Hearalds of That Good Realm by John Reeves

"Mani, the messenger of the God of truth to Babylonia." The messengers of God have thus proclaimed a single teaching to humankind, regardless of the circumstances of their own settings or audiences. We finally learn that Mani's mission featured an eschatological component, in that Mani is considered the messenger for "this last age." This lesson is reinforced with al-Biruni's citation from another of Mani's works wherein he declares himself to be the "Paraclete" promised by Jesus and the "seal of the prophets."- Hearalds of That Good Realm by John Reeves
